Win Your Wife's Weight in Beer at Wife Carrying Championship

Do you ever carry your wife around on your back for fun? What if I told you that you could win her weight in beer by carrying her around in a competition?

You still have time to enter the U.P. Wife Carrying Championship. The competition involves a 278-yard obstacle course that will take you through a sand hill, over hurdles, and through a water mud pit and the couple to do it the faster will score their wife's weight in beer. The winning couple will move on to the North American Championship at Sunday River.

You have to be at least 21 years of age or older to enter the competition and you can carry your wife however you want but most use what they call the "Estonian Carry" seen in the picture above. Even though the name is "Wife Carrying Championship" it is open to non-married couples and couples regardless of their gender identity.
